I’m an absolute coffee snob. Do not like instant coffee at all but if I have no choice, it’s milk before the water and plenty of it. I’m a lover of my coffee pods. Nescafé Dolche Gusto. 1 cup early morning of Cafe Au Lait, two cups through the morning of Flat White but never after 11.30 am. Afternoon it’s a cup of tea around two thirty. And that’s it. Sometimes a Chai Spice Latte in the evening. Chai spice latte is really very nice, spicy, milky and warming on a cold night.

Love the aroma of freshly ground coffee.
Absolutely!I agree with the smell of fresh ground coffee, but why adulterate it with the smell and taste of boiled milk

My DG Cafe au lait pod is poised to slot into the machine with my mug underneath, ready for when the alarm goes off at 5.45. I cannot get up without it!

The trick is not to let the pot draw or don't dunk the teabag too many times! I find it tastes like some horrible medicine if overdone. Two of three dips is perfect for me, but no milk as is traditional. As for coffee- I used to guzzle six cups a day when I worked in research but now cannot drink more than one latte before I shake like a leaf!Earl Grey! Once was enough. I can still taste it.

Until the inevitable day when the coffee comes out lukewarm or not at all because you haven’t descaled.

That’s why no coffee after 11 am or so. Can’t sleep at night if I do. Thanks for the Earl Grey tip but I think I’ll pass.

Happily not today. I have, however, just had my last pod.
Bulk supplies on their way from a certain big online retailer but these are not due until tomorrow afternoon. Whatever shall I do..?

How on Earth did you let that happen? ALWAYS have one box in reserve. I’d be in the car and straight to the supermarket, even if it is a bit more costly, and picking up a takeaway on the way, from the closest coffee shop or servo if they have coffee. (Servo=petrol station, some of our servos have barista coffee, second rate but better than instant from the back of the kitchen cupboard)Happily not today. I have, however, just had my last pod.

I love Earl Grey tea & Lady Grey tea too. Other than that I drink coffee. I don't like the smell of tea. I can drink spicy chai though. Wouldn't mind trying London fog chai latte. I tried Camp coffee many years ago ugh... disgusting. I understand it is sometimes used in baking
